Workers need to understand UPS, NPS, and OPS. UPS strikes a balance between NPS, which is based on investment, and OPS, which offers traditional protection.

India has a long history of offering pension plans to its government employees. In order to bridge the gap between the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) and the New Pension Scheme (NPS), the federal government has established the Unified Pension Scheme (UPS). Understanding the differences between these three plans and the significance of working people being aware of them is crucial.

Difference between NPS, OPS and UPS

Old Pension Scheme(OPS)

For government workers, the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) is a standard pension plan that provides a pension at retirement equal to 50% of the worker’s most recent base pay. Employees are not required to contribute anything to this program on their own.

OPS features include: –

  • 50% of the last basic wage and the dearness allowance prior to retirement.
  • Employees are not required to make any financial contributions to the pension fund.
  • The maximum gratuity amount upon retirement is Rs 20 lakh.
  • A retired employee’s family receives a pension in the event of his death.

Pension Schemes

The New Pension Plan (NPS)

OPS was replaced with NPS, however this decision was highly controversial. Employees are required to contribute 10% of their base pay and dearness allowance to the pension fund under this plan.

Items pertaining to NPS

  • Because NPS investments are dependent on the stock market, they include some risk.
  • After retirement, there is no provision for a fixed pension.
  • 60% of the total deposit amount is held for an annuity, with 40% available for withdrawal as a lump sum at retirement.

  • Employees at UPS will be required to contribute 10% of their pay, with the government covering the remaining 18.5%.
  • To receive a pension in UPS and OPS, no investment is required.
  • In UPS and OPS, inflation is taken into consideration, but not in NPS.
